This is a picture of the Chicago skyline that Jen took as we drove into the
city. She is becoming quite the photographer. It was a pretty rainy
day in Chicago but we weren't there to see the sights anyway.
This is retired Colonel Bill Ladd. He was field director in Europe when
Jen was a missionary there before we got married and Jen likes to see him
every couple of years so that she can still harass him. He spent 20
minutes on the phone to earn the church he is working for $100.
This is Kathy Ladd, Bill's better half. She is a great cook and has
dishes from all over the world to serve her meals on.
These are all pictures from Willow Creek Community Church. We went
to the midweek believers service and really enjoyed it. Not only did
we enjoy the service but we enjoyed the pizza that we had in the cafeteria
before the service. They had a mini orchestra and band for the worship
and we had the pleasure of hearing Dr. Joe Stowell deliver the 50 minute
message. He is one of my favorite preachers to hear on the radio so
it was neat to see him in person. I was thinking that in 5 years people
will be saying that about Pastor Beckett when he is the guest speaker at
a church since he in now working with Woodrow Kroll and Back to the Bible.
